Playing radio stations

Ok, so I'm finally dragging myself into the 20th century. Got the amp
and speakers powered up, loads of audio libraries compiled, but what do
I use to play ogg radio stations ?
I found one station that obviously wasn't using a playlist and I was
able to just point ogg123 at it. But most stations have playlists,
which seems to defeat ogg123. I've build rhythmbox, and it sort of
works - plays up to the end of a track, then stops until I click on it
(I guess it really wants a play-list). So, any recommendations for
"straightforward" radio players (the type that just keep playing of
their own accord) ?
Also, any recommendations for dealing with the Real Player streams from
the BBC ?
